The de Havilland Tiger Moth (DH.82) is a single-engined biplane designed and used primarily as an initial flight trainer, a role in which it excelled due to its combination of forgiving flying and slow stall speed, its capacity to perform challenging aerobatics and its stable flying characteristics allowing close formation flying.
Developed from the Gypsy Moth (DH.60), it first took to the skies in 1931 and was soon adopted by the Royal Air Force as its primary training aircraft. Other variants during World War II included modified aircraft that could be used as light bombers, as tugs for aerial target drones, and as vehicles for the delivery of poison gas attacks. Following the war, excess Tiger Moths were disposed of and the aircraft found commercial service towing advertising banners, as an aerial ambulance and for crop dusting, as well as being a popular choice for both private individuals and flying clubs as a recreational aircraft. A number of Tiger Moths were also retained by the services and the marque remained in service with the RAF into the 1950s and with the Royal Navy until the 1970s.
By the time production ended over 7,000 Tiger Moths had been built including over 4,000 for the RAF, many of which were constructed by the Morris Motor Company at Cowley near Oxford, also famous for it's MG series of cars. In fact some "MG" enthusiasts have likened flying a Tiger Moth to driving a vintage MG but with wings!
Like de Havilland's Dragon Rapide passender airliner, this outstanding example of British engineering proved a highly durable and long-lasting machine with 176 individual aircraft still registered with the Civil Aviation Authority today (January 2011).
As well as this Tiger Moth page there are also pages on Dragon Rapide.
